Around The World In 20 Years - TV Reviews - smh.com.au
Michael Palin's re-visit of Dubai and India, shown here on the ABC last night, seemed particularly enjoyable. ( I see that it was on in the UK at the end of last year.)
I particularly liked:
* the Indian pants washing that was (allegedly) superb at removing stains, but seemed to mean you would have to replace the buttons every time;
* the surprise that they still build substantial dhow-like boats in a part of India with wood from Malaysia. (I assume wood from Malaysia is still relatively cheap.)
* the swing chair in the Taj Mahal hotel. (I wonder if the room survived the terrorist attack.)
